Local Coronavirus COVID-19 Resource Center

Share: 

Since the first testing for COVID-19 in Maine, information and important notices from community and state officials, business owners and educators have flowed to our inboxes at a rapid pace. 

So, the Pilot established a resource page, a collection center for all the alerts and vital information our readers need to know.

Innovative solutions, before long, were brought to our attention, easing life for everyone as we moved through the unfamiliar sequestering days.

As Mainers line up to receive their vaccine doses and continue to figure out normalcy, we are sharing information about pandemic recovery as it rolls in.

The latest information will appear at the top of the page, and the top of the subsections appearing within the sidebar.

Stay healthy, keep your distance, wear a mask (or two), and keep your chin up!

On Friday, March 13, 2020, residents were stocking up on groceries and other items, filling the roads and parking lots.
